The Edge of the Forest - March edition is out

If you haven’t already checked out The Edge of the Forest– a children’s literature monthly click over and see this month’s edition. It is again filled with good reviews and other interesting articles. One of my favorites this month is the Kids Pickas it features some interesting thoughts from Third Graders, which is one of my favorite ages to work with. There are a wide variety of book reviews that are captivating and some informative interviews as well.

Book Ratings

An occasional rating will appear with a book review and these are the explanations. The disclaimer is: These ratings are just my personal opinions and story preferences and not to be taken as some book guru decree.

About Me

With fond memories of years in the library as a kid, I finally indulged myself late in life and earned a Master’s in Library Science with a focus on children’s and electronic services. Of course, this was after about 15 years where I actually used my business degree and “counted beans”, but then remembered I liked books much better, especially children’s literature. In addition, I have spent a few years in an elementary school library after which I put on a read aloud program for 1st through 3rd graders. Here I am offering my knowledge of children’s books and resources to help those looking for something special or just a fun read. Don’t forget to check out the book resources listed for other ideas.
